WHO ARE WE?
Frustrated with the direction "Mixed Martial Arts" was heading, the system founder Randy Points, developed Kombido out of the Martial Arts style formally known as Aam-Ka-Jutsu.
The American Colleges of Kombido, West Haven, Connecticut is the eastern most school in the United States that teaches the martial arts style of Kombido. Established in 1999 the American Colleges of Kombido, West Haven is operated by Master Instructor Doug Hodge.
Our Mission
To enrich the lives of everyone who walks through our Dojo doors, using the martial arts to :
Promote Physical Fitness
Increase Mental Stability
Deepen Spiritual Strength
The goal of KOMBIDO is to provide the individual with a path to develop their own ability to defend themselves and the ability to strengthen their mind, body, and spirit.
WHAT IS KOMBIDO?
KOMBIDO translates literally to the “way of combination”. The combination is not simply a combination of Judo, Karate, Kung Fu, and Tai Chi but instead is a combination of martial arts fundamentals such as stance, blocks, strikes, and foot maneuvers along with strategic timing, distancing, entering, trapping, and take downs. The focus is on combining an individuals skills with an ever expanding learned skill set to provide them with an effective and efficient system of self defense. The goal is also to help the individual find balance through practice and wisdom.
KOMBIDO provides the student with physical balance through stance and foot maneuver practice, as well as partner practice. Mental balance is achieved as the student learns how to make proper self defense decisions in a short period of time. Finally, spiritual balance is achieved as we discern right from wrong while freeing ourselves from the chains of doubt, fear, disbelief, and low self esteem.
KOMBIDO is also the combination of students willing to learn, with the courage to try new things and the perseverance to overcome the challenges of learning physical skills that they are not used to.
In the end, KOMBIDO is a combination of all of these things - creating a family of martial artist that share their challenges, their victories, and their faith.
